[1] The headword phrase is presumably quoted from somewhere, but not the quotation given (which has a different preposition and, thus, sense); rather, probably
Herodotus 7.215 (though there are instances in later historiography also --
Diodorus,
Dionysius of Halicarnassus,
Procopius -- and also e.g. in
Philostratus).
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyogeniti) unidentifiable.
